enjoying myself

planning for the weekend

another week has just passed away and the weekend is approaching. just luking back i realise this has been another of these weeks in which i haven't done anyhing 'constructive' and 'productive' for my company. theek hai...... a no. of releases have gone by recently and everbdy here seems to be in a pensive mood as of now. vaise bhi.. this is friday n the enthu fr the work just vanishes from the morning itself.


today i m busy planning fr the weekend with my 'chandaal chaukdi'. ya we hv been a grp of 4 close frnds from the college time. a lots of plan hv been made in the pasts also but none of them really materialised. this has been the problem with my grp. we make a lot of plans but then fizzle out at the last moment. The professional life has got its own charm but it also brings a lot of pressures which we never experienced in our carefree college life. we make some plans and then sum wierd assignment comes out of nowhere. the client is yelling n the manager tries to convince us tht work reqd is critical fr the project. i hv now worked fr 10 months but i still cant understand how everytask can be labelled 'critical'...... the pressure is there to meet the deadlines and we like, 'all good guys', try to meet the endless expectations of our managers. Needless to say that all the planning goes completely haywire. the fact tht we all 4 r in different companies doesn't help our cause to schedule a trip to sumwht far away from Delhi.


meanwhile i watched West-Indies vs South Africa 3rd one day yesterday. there r not many west-indies fan around but i feel sympathy for this team. This was the team which had held numero uno position in world cricket for more than a couple of decades and cud demolish the opposition at will. Their passion for the game, calypso music, fast bowlers, stroke playing batsmen and the never say die spirit stood unmatched. But the decline over the years have left the team in shambles. anyway i was talking abt the match and phew !! what a cracker of match it was. West Indies chasing 285 for victory came within a striking distance of the target. They reqd 4 runs in last over with 3 wickets in hand, 2 singles on the first 2 balls ...... and the match ,seemed as if, was in their pockets. but cricket is a great game and it has its own moments of uncertainities. These tough situations create new heroes, they require people to hold on to their nerves and make a significant difference in feeling of winning and being almost there . Charl Langeveldt produced one of the most sensational finales in one-day international history, as he plucked a hat-trick out of thin air to steal a one-run victory. It was a lion-hearted effort and certainly worth enjoying even if i had to wake up till 4 am in the morning to watch it...but i m not complaining.


chalo i m busy planning again. hopefully we wud be goin out sumwhere...may not be very far away from delhi,but who carez ...... its not the amount of time u spend with each other but how u spent it makes it more memorable .
